Radical Reels!

To celebrate Drew's birth month I surprised him with tickets to Radical Reels! We missed the Banff Film Festival but lucky for us Radical Reels was the next this week! We have gone to Banff every year, and we LOVE it!

We started off he night as tradition has it at The Pie! As always it didn't disappoint!





And yes the iPhone was invited!


And the main event! It was truly remarkable what people can so! Banff is an extreme sport film festival! It was a fun night to celebrate Drew!

Kite Flying!

Today we had another birthday surprise for Drew!


Drew got home from work and we headed to the park to make best use of a windy day!


My kite was cuter!

And Caesar was in trouble, so he had to sit and watch! We LOVE March!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW!!!

For Drew's birthday my parents and I got him an iPhone!  Well Drew sort of took matters into his own hands and got it the day I was coming home from Florida, because he couldn't wait!  Pretty sure this thing is going to change our lives!

Disney World!!!

Well I just spent a magical week with this little beauty (and Meg and Wes) in Walt DisneyWorld!

(yes my mom packed her own poncho for Splash Mountain)
Wes is in the Coast Guard so he got us all military tickets which were crazy cheap!

The trip started out amazing when my mom and I were mysteriously placed in First Class!  It was truly amazing!  I was scared to do anything that would draw too much attention to myself for fear that they would know I wasn't supposed to be there!

Yes we made Wes where a "My 1st Visit" button!  He LOVED it!

Every year we make my mom take this picture!  Secretly we know she wants to!

I happened upon this graduation and it was really neat!  Every year Disney sends people to Africa to hand pick 15 students to come and study business at Disney!  They say that since they have done this there have been over 200 successful businesses opened in Africa!

Just a picture of EPCOT!

Disney's not Disney without a Mickey IceCream bar!

Barrel O' Monkeys outside of Pizza Planet... I thought it was creative!

Waiting in line for the monorail!

This amazing new game in EPCOT its like a virtual shuffle board! It is amazing how many neat things are available!
I had a great week but missed Drewpy!  Next time he won't miss out!

**FireWorks**

FireWorks have to be the best part about going to DisneyWorld!

This is at Magic Kingdom during Wishes!

They have FireWorks that explode in the shape of stars, smiley faces and (as seen above) hearts... I had a great picture of the hearts that were right side up but I deleted it! oops!  You get the idea!

Finale!!!

Chinese Acrobats!

The incredible Chinese acrobats outside of China at EPCOT!!  These are my favorite! I made my mom run all the way across the park just so we could get a good seat!  And as always it was SO worth it!

They start training when they are 2 and a select few are chosen to come train in the United States!

I always wonder how they train for this!  You would have to put me in a super padded room!

This girl was incredible!  She would put bowls on her feet and flick it up to her head, and then after she had 14 bowls on her head she flicked a spoon into the bowls!

Amazing!

EPCOT Acrobat!




This guy was amazing!! He hand stacked these chairs and would balance on them... I had to turn around it made me nauseous !  Then his assistant would grab onto the bottom and pretend like he was going to shake the chairs or lean on them!  This guy stacked 7 chairs and was more than 20 feet in the air with only concrete to break his fall!
